Mastectomy & Diep flap reconstruction

"Mastectomy & Diep flap reconstruction"

About: Queen Victoria Hospital (East Grinstead)

The NHS at its very best. Six weeks ago I had a mastectomy and reconstruction using the tissue from my tummy to re-create the breast.

The results are amazing.

Everything about the treatment I received was first class.

I have made a very good recovery and am thrilled with my flat tummy and cancer free breast.

The plastic surgeon was incredible and all the nursing staff were wonderful, so kind and caring. This was a frightening experience made one hundred percent easier by the fantastic care from the QVH. Many thanks, I am truly grateful.
